  • Currency API limitation for ‘Outstanding Payments by Contact’ Xero metric

    When using Xero metric ‘Outstanding Payments by Contact’ in Databox, all contacts without their currency returned via API will have the default currency displayed in Databox, even though their actual currency (seen in Xero) could be different.
